Really? You wouldn't care if a stream running through your property was poisoned by someone else upstream? Even if you used that stream for your own drinking water or that of your animals?

Wow.

Go around on WHAT? The other private toll-road?

How would the people or town contract as an entity? Wait. I'm thinking. OK, I have an idea. They could form themselves into a group and vote on some of the people to be the leaders. Then the leaders could contract with the private road-builder.

I'm done arguing with you, kiddo. You are passionate, but lacking in experience and unable to support your arguments with logic or even good sense. Enjoy your nominal rebelliousness.

The irony here is a school district in the State of Texas a bastion of American Conservatism has suggested that students be issued RFID card to keep track of students.

As part of a controversial trial that could someday include 112 schools and nearly 100,000 students, Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas, recently issued students at two of its campuses new badges with an embedded RFID (radio-frequency identification) chip in order to track their locations.

I said I wouldn't like it. Now this is where government does come in. Me and my neighbor have a dispute if we can't come to a reasonable conclusion then we ask for a mediator to help us.

So it wouldn't bother you if your drinking water was too toxic to drink, as long as those that made it toxic only dumped their toxic waste on their personal property? That sounds like solid logic.

Does that mediator work for free? What if that mediator sides with the other person, lets say with ID's and decided it is in the best interest to have everyone who wishes to drive to have a driver's license.

This isn't about ID's this is about that person spilling waste and affecting my water supply. We both pay the mediator and if they agree with the neighbor then you appeal I suppose. You think I have all of this worked out? Lol.
